A/N: I hoped you liked last chapter. I MIGHT have more lemony stuff but I don't know. I don't care really. This story is one of my best. And also, I am thinking there should be a sequel. I Don't know...I mean...I have an idea for one....but I don't know. What do you think?
Chapter 17: The Most Powerful
Robin slowly blinked her eyes open. The sun was shining in her room. She looked over, Amon was sleeping with his back to her.
She quietly got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Not long after, Amon walked into the kitchen. They both gave each other a kiss.
"So when are we leaving to go on the hunt?" Robin asked.
Amon thought a moment, then said, "Karasuma was going to pick you up."
Robin nodded her head and said, "Ok, works for me. I have wanted to see Karasuma for some time."
After they ate, Amon put his coat on and left. Robin new Karasuma would be there to pick her up in a couple of hours.
Robin walked into her room. Yes, it WAS ugly, and yes it DID need a paint job.
"Tomorrow." Robin decided, "Tomorrow I'll get this place painted. I guess I'll have to hire professional painters though."
Robin walked into the kitchen. It did need to be cleaned up a bit. She wanted to get it clean before Karasuma came.
First, she washed all the dishes, dried them, and put them away. She got out some cleaner and sprayed the kitchen counters, the stove, pretty much everything.
When she finished cleaning, Robin looked out the window. Karasuma had just parked. Robin raced to the door, put her coat on, locked the door on her way out, and stepped in the elevator. When the doors opened, Karasuma was standing there.
"Hello!" Karasuma smiled. "It's so nice to see you again!"
"Same to you." Robin said. The two hunters walked to her car.
"It's crazy that the witch actually lives in the apartment building that you're in." Karasuma turned the car down a street.
"Where is the witch now?" Robin asked.
"Well, Michael found the location, but the witch seems to keep moving around. So, we are going to go to the new location and look for him. Oh yeah, here." Karasuma handed Robin her ear and microphone.
"Oh, yes, thanks." Robin quickly put them on.
Suddenly, Michaels voice came in.
"Robin, Karasuma, the witch has moved location again. I am sending the location to you."
"Thanks." Robin and Karasuma said together. Robin picked Karasuma's cell phone up, opened it, and looked at the location.
"He is down this ally." Robin pointed at a dark, disgusting looking ally way.
Karasuma stopped the car. The two hunters stepped out. Karasuma loaded her Orbo gun, and put it in her coat. Robin put her hand in her pocket, then took it out. She forgot she didn't need the glasses anymore.
They two of them walked down the ally.
Robin thought she heard something. She stopped, and Karasuma got the hint and stopped too. Something caught the corner of Karasuma's eye. She looked over. Nothing. Robin gasped. Karasuma quickly looked over to see a burst of flame flowing towards her. Robin pushed Karasuma out of the flames path.
Another burst of flame erupted and came towards Robin. A different burst of flame erupted and sent the first one flowing in the direction it came.
'Robin is reflection the fire.....how long has she been able to do that?' Karasuma thought to herself. She suddenly felt a strong emotion hit her like lightning.
She looked up. Robin was standing, and the witch who attacked them, was bent over, his hand grasping his arm. The emotion came from him.
(A/N: If you didn't know Karasuma was a witch and had the power to feel emotions from different people, and witches, well, she does.)
Robin sent another burst of flame at the witch. This one was reflected and sent back to Robin. Robin calmly stepped out of the way to avoid being hit.
A flame erupted in front of Robin. Suddenly, there was a huge burst of fire that erupted around Robin.
Karasuma couldn't see her partner. She called from her but didn't get an answer.
The witch sent another flame in Robin's way, but it died down. When the fire around Robin died down, Robin was fine. Her pendant was glowing rapidly.
The witch looked at it, and frowned.
Robin leaned forward and sent a flame spiraling towards the witch. The witch got hit, but sent another flame at Robin. The same huge burst of flame erupted around Robin. It seemed it was a shield.
Sakaki, Doujima, and Amon watched from behind a wall. Amon was surprised to see how Robin reflected the fire that came her way. He didn't see the pendant while it glowed though. Sakaki pointed at Karasuma, who was stuggling to get up. She caught her foot I something and couldn't get it out. Sakaki quietly ran over and helped her. Robin was keeping the witch to distracted for him to notice Sakaki and Karasuma.
Robin sent little bursts of flame around the witch. Then, she sent a huge burst in front of him. It swept over him like a wave. When it died down, the witch was on his back, trying to get up. He failed every time and then turned his head towards Robin. A wave of fire came in front of her. She looked around to find an escape route, but there was none. Robin kneeled down and put her arm above her. She kept her eyes open. The wave swept over her. Robin looked up, and she put her arm down. The wave was just circling her. There was a red colored fire that was around her. It was like she was in a globe. When everything died down, Robin was still looking up.
Amon saw everything. The fire, and how Robin was just fine.
Robin looked down, her pendant was glowing. She turned around to see how Karasuma and Sakaki were. They were fine, but a little bedazzled. Sakaki got up and shot at the witch who was still trying to get up. The witch laid there, unmoving. Doujima called Michael. Sakaki and Karasuma searched the witch for anything he might have stolen from anybody.
"Your Orbitannica. You discovered another power of its." Amon walked up behind Robin. She turned around and nodded. Then, she leaned on a wall.
"I am tired from the fight. I used a lot of my power. It was just so weird that....that...." Robin studdered a bit, then said, "That the Orbitannica could make a shield. It was weird being in that fire. It was like I was in a glass ball. Nothing could hurt me."
Amon nodded. He just couldn't believe it. Robin fought so well. She didn't get hurt at all.
"And, when that wave of fire came up....I thought.....that's it, I am going to die and there is nothing anybody can do about it." Robin said bleakly.
"But you're fine. The Orbitannica saved you." Amon said coldly. Then he said in a lighter tone, "I'll take you home."
----At Robin's Apartment----
When Robin opened her apartment door, she stopped before walking in.
"Do you want to come in? I would like it if you did." Robin looked up at Amon, who nodded.
The two walked inside and took off their coats. Robin walked into the kitchen and made them some coffee.
"Robin," Amon said, "That craft you did against the witch.....it was good. The witch was stronger than you, but you had the Orbitannica to help you a long the way."
Robin looked at Amon. "Yeah, I guess I did. It just felt weird that my power was stronger and more came out then I wanted to."
"You're just going to have to get use to it."
Robin walked to the living room. Amon followed her. They both sat down and Robin handed Amon a mug.
They sat in silence, sipping their coffee. Robin looked at her crystal for a minute. She was amazed at the power it held.
"Amon," Robin said suddenly, "You know.....you should stay here....with me."
Amon didn't know what to say. He never got an invitation to stay with somebody before, let alone Robin.
"Uhh....let me think on that." Amon said.
Robin smiled. Either way, Amon would have to.
"Oh yeah," Robin said, "I am going to get rid of that stupid wall paper," Robin looked around the room, "And everything else. I am getting the place repainted tomorrow."
Amon didn't say anything. Then, he got an idea.
"What about painting your room a light gray and having the frames around your room black?" Amon thought it was an ok idea.
"That sounds good....hmm...blue or gray....Either one. I KNOW you like the gray and black better. And I like the blue. Unlike you, Amon, I like to have a variety of colors. I am also going to put new carpet in this room, and a wood floor in my room. The carpet WILL be violet, and the walls to this room will be light blue. The frames will be violet."
Amon nodded. He didn't want Robin to burn him to a crisp about painting walls.
"What are you doing tomorrow while the painters are here?" Amon asked coldly.
"I don't know. I think I'll just go grocery shopping or something. I just want to take it easy. I am pretty worn out form that hunt." Robin took a sip of her coffee.
"You should try and find out more about the Orbitannica crystal. Michael has seemed to have found out everything he could have. I myself don't believe that. Not with the set up he has." Amon said coldly.
Robin nodded. She didn't believe it either. Michael could find out everything about the Orbitannica if he just put his mind to it. Or, instead of mind, computer.
"I guess I could go look. But also, I can also to go head quarters and tell Michael to." Robin smirked.
Amon knew that Robin could threaten to burn Michael to a crisp if he didn't look.
"It might work." Amon said quietly.
"What time are you going to get out of the STN-J?" Robin asked suddenly.
"I don't know. I can call you when I do." Amon said. He did a side glace at Robin. "Why?"
"Maybe we can look together. It might be easier. What do you say?"
"Maybe. Yes, it would be easier, but maybe there would be something that you need to know about the crystal that only YOU should know."
"Probably. But it would be good for at least one other person to know in case of an accident."
Amon nodded. "You're probably right. Uhh....sure. Ok, I'll help you. But you have to be able to remember what we found out. Got it?"
Robin rolled her eyes. Amon was always so straight forward when it came to finding things.
"Ok." Robin simply stated.
Amon raised an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means 'Ok I'll remember what we found.' You paying attention?" Robin snickered.
"What I mean is what's it supposed to mean by rolling your eyes."
"Oh, that. Well, you are always so dark when it comes to me doing stuff that you helped with."
Amon glared at Robin. Robin glared at Amon.
"Got a problem with that?" Amon asked slyly.
"Yes. I do." Robin said in a smart-ass kind of way.
Amon sat back into the couch. Robin was confused by his action. Then, she leaned over and set her mug on the table. Amon did the same. He sat back again. Robin raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with you?" Robin asked quietly.
Amon looked at her. His eyes weren't as cold as they usually were, but his expression a daring one.
Robin caught on to it. She smirked.
"Oh, I see. The silence treatment. Oh well."
She got up and went to get something to eat.
Amon's expression dropped to a frown. She didn't fall for it. She was brighter than he thought. He got up. Robin was in the kitchen, her back to him. She was putting some king of cheese and cracker thing.
Amon snuck up behind her, and before she turned around, he grabbed her hands and put them behind her back.
Robin let out a little scream, and tried to see what Amon was doing. She managed to turn her head so she had a side glance at him.
"What ARE you doing?" Robin said.
"What am I doing? Stop struggling and I'll let you go." Amon's grip on her hands was strong.
"I don't believe that. If I stop struggling, you are just going to do something else to me." Robin said smartly.
"Oh you don't do you? Well, you got me. But what are you going to do now?"
Robin thought a moment. She stayed quiet. Then, she felt Amon's grip loosen a little bit. She wrenched her hands free and ran into the living room.
Amon was stunned. Robin used a good technique. He slowly walked to the living room. Robin was sitting down, sipping her coffee. She seemed to sense that Amon was in the living room now and set her cup down. She didn't look at him.
Amon casually walked over and sat down. Robin did a quick side glance at him. Then, she suddenly lurched over to Amon and grabbed his wrists. Her grip was tight, but not tight enough. Amon quickly spun his hands around so he was gripping her wrists. Robin started giggling. Amon raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Amon asked accusingly.
"Oh, nothing." Robin said in between her giggling.
Amon put Robins wrists down on the seat of the couch. He used one hand to pin her wrists down, while his other hand went under Robin's knees. He picked her up. Robin's eyes were narrow. Amon let go of her wrists. Robin didn't fight. They just stared into each other's eyes.
"Well?" Robin asked, "What are you going to do to me now?"
Amon sat down. Robin was resting in his lap. She leaned on his chest.
"Amon, I love you. I want you to stay here with me." Robin said quietly.
Amon looked down at Robin.
"I don't know yet." He said, his voice was a little weak.
Robin nodded. She got up and stood in front of Amon.
"I am going to go to bed. I am really tired. Help yourself to anything."
"Ok." Amon said. He wasn't sure he wanted to stay with Robin or not. Staying with her would mean that he would have to admit that the baby she held was his too.
Uhh.......yeah. R&R if ya want. I didn't think this chapter was all that great. I will make the chapters longer and more interesting.
